Historic Top Floor Condo at the Grand Traverse Commons

STEP INTO HISTORY! The Village at Grand Traverse Commons is an experience like no other. Formerly the Traverse City State Hospital--this marvel of preservation is now a bustling community of mixed commercial and residential uses.

I purchased this condo in 2017. It is located on the top (3rd) floor of Cottage 20. It is accessible by elevator and is also equipped with its own private washer and dryer.

The space is ideally suited for 2 people--but could accommodate 2 additional guests on the queen sized, memory foam sleeper sofa. This is a wonderful vantage point from which to explore the area. It is cozy, comfortable and equipped with everything you need to make your stay feel relaxed and carefree. There is an electric fireplace for added ambiance and warmth. Guests may also enjoy the gorgeous front covered porch.

Please contact me if you have any questions. I take great pride in communicating with my guests and helping them to achieve a wonderful and memorable vacation.

Fascinating historical buildings. The tour of asylum and tunnels was excellent. Beautiful views from the wineries Chateau Chantal and Bonobos. We liked the restaurant choices in Traverse City. We highly recommend The Red Spire at Grand Village Commons for breakfast/lunch. Shops are there and fun to walk around. Moomers ice cream and Grand Traverse pie company are a must. Wonderful stay!

Convenient & Cute!

My family of four enjoyed our stay in this cute apartment! The god out couch was comfortable for my two daughters (12 & 10), and the master bedroom had plenty of space, both in the room and closet. The bed mattress was a little firm for my taste, and the floors were very squeaky, but otherwise everything was great!

Beautiful condo

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay in this beautiful condo. It was spotless and had everything we needed for a 4 night stay. Our host was very responsive and made the check in process easy with her detailed instructions. The location was perfect with easy access to everything on our list. My husband and i highly recommend staying here and definitely plan on returning on our next trip to Michigan.
